FAST forward for lift-off!

1 min read

Fastening, bonding and assembly businesses attending the acclaimed FAST Exhibition next spring at the superb Concorde Centre, Manchester Airport, will steal a march on their rivals by seeing the latest innovations and solutions up close, and speaking one-to-one with the experts.

Held on Thursday, 21 April 2016, the FAST Exhibition location puts visitors right on the threshold of all that is happening.

Adding extra lift-off to the 21 April event is the decision to co-locate the new Plastics Prototyping and Metals Exhibition (PPME) within the same venue, which is easy to find and provides free parking. The new event will showcase the best UK moulders, prototyping experts – both bureau and equipment providers – and shaped metal suppliers.

Launched to meet the needs of OEMs sourcing plastic mouldings, rapid prototyped parts and bespoke metal parts, PPME has been created to bring together a collection of important technology and service providers that form the backbone of OEM activity across the entire UK manufacturing spectrum, making it a ‘must-go’ event.

The catchment area of the Concorde Centre is bustling with manufacturing activity, and is home to more than 8,000 SMEs and blue-chip OEMs, including BAE Systems, Bombardier, Airbus, Astra- Zeneca, Bentley Motors, JCB, Rolls-Royce and Vauxhall Motors.

The unique roadshow-style format has already proved to be an outstanding success for exhibitors and visitors at the FAST Exhibition itself and we have no doubt that the same will prove true for PPME. Why? Because interviews with previous attendees of FAST reveal there is already a demand for PPME, with 71% of visitors purchasing mouldings, rapid prototyping and/or bespoke metal components.

To whet appetites even further, the late-summer FAST Exhibition will once more be staged at the popular and iconic Williams Conference Centre, Oxfordshire, on 22 September 2016.

So why not get both of those dates in your diary now.
